God Wars: Remastered

The war that tore Gielinor asunder 2000 years ago still rages beneath the frigid northern wastes, and it's never been more brutally stunning to look at, or more rewarding!

The first thing that hardened God Wars veterans among you will notice is the graphical overhaul. Almost every NPC in the dungeon has been reworked to look like the stalwart eternal warrior that they are, including some particularly fine work on the bosses. Check out Kree'arra's razor-sharp battle wings, or General Graardor's never-brawnier physique.

It's not just the denizens of the dungeon who're looking bad-to-the-bone. Pernix and Virtus armour, the zaryte bow, the Zamorak spear, and the steam battlestaff all have visual upgrades, and all four versions of the Godsword now have a legendary new look:


No update of the God Wars Dungeon would be complete without a mother lode of loot to whet your appetites. There are new pieces for the Torva, Pernix, Virtus, Bandos and Armadyl sets, previously seen only in the Evolution of Combat Beta; new best-in-slot amulets for melee, magic and ranged users; and the robes of subjugation - cruelly effective gear for dark-hearted mages everywhere.

Lore fans among you will love the tomes now available as drops from every boss in the dungeon, each of which gives a first-hand account of the machinations taking place in the God Wars' darkest hours. Even if lore's not your thing, don't worry - the books are given in addition to regular drops, and will never replace that shiny piece of loot you had your heart set on.

Finally, we've made a whole range of tweaks and fixes, including the following: K’ril Tsutsaroth's attack damage is now split across players in close vicinity to each other; Nex is now tougher than ever, with improved path-finding and the ability to reflect ranged damage to her attackers, as seen in the Evolution of Combat Beta; and there's no longer any need to bring rope or mithril grapples.

What're you waiting for? Whether you're a veteran of a thousand God Wars battles, or an up-and-comer who can't wait to go Third-Age on some aviansie, now's the time to join the fray!

How to Access the God Wars Dungeon

Love it! Made 25m on my first kill. xD

Never really been into killing bosses so not a big update for me.

Also, the god armour is generally too expensive for me to buy so I doubt I need worry myself about this update at all.

I am really interested in getting a complete set of the robes of subjugation. They seems to be an epic set of mage armour, specially since the complete sets gives +9% magic damage which is quite nice.

I'm a huge fan of almost every improvement they made to GWD. The appearance is awesome, new items look cool, and it breaths a little fresh interest into the place.

However, the drops that some of the bosses give out, and the fact that Saradomin boss still has so few drops compared to the rest of the bosses, still don't make much sense. But I guess you can't fix everything...

I think it's tough to do with each of the other 3 bosses having their own armor set, and with there now being a gwd armor set for each combat style and an extra boss that has to drop something. So it's like what the heck can you do that would match these kickass armor sets? Amulets would be a pretty good way to go, but the stats just don't live up to expectations when they say they're going to be the best for their combat style. I think it would have been cool to have the crossbow be Sara + maybe a new staff or something, because having 2 new weapons would have definitely been a pretty good draw.

One other thing I don't get is the examine info on the new stuff. If you look at the armadyl crossbow, it says that Saradomin had stolen it and keeps it as a trophy, yet it's still an Armadyl drop. And then the necklaces are sara drops despite their examines saying that Saradomin had given one to each of the other factions.

The first decent update in a long time! They should have just released full sets from the beginning though considering must of the new drops are pretty much worthless I must say....

Anyway SoF wasn't even mentioned so 10/10.
